Toast
is
such
a
cute
brunch
spot
in
Birmingham.
It
has
quality
food
and
a
large
menu
that
it
makes
it
easy
for
anyone
to
find
something
they’ll
like
(especially
if
you
have
dietary
restrictions).
The
few
things
that
keep
me
from
giving
Toast
5
stars
is
the
added
20%
gratuity,
poor
service,
and
menus
that
showed
the
pre-Covid
price
increases
to
the
current
prices.
I
truly
understand
raising
prices,
however
it
was
definitely
unfortunate
that
the
menus
weren’t
all
changed
to
the
new
prices.
It
left
my
table
with
a
sour
taste
in
our
mouth
has
we
compared
the
$1-3
price
differences
between
the
prior
menu
and
our
current
one.
The
other
issue
was
the
service
and
the
required
gratuity.
Our
server
and
the
hostess
staff
were
not
extremely
friendly
or
willing
to
go
out
of
their
way
to
ensure
we
had
a
good
experience.
While
there’s
no
guarantee,
I
firmly
believe
the
restaurants
required
20%
gratuity
for
all
in-person
parties
leaves
the
waitstaff
feeling
like
they
do
not
need
to
go
out
of
there
way.
The
service
was
not
worthy
of
a
mandated
20%
tip
as
we
had
to
flag
our
waitress
down
to
order
our
food,
fix
missing
items
from
our
order,
and
ask
for
the
check.
The
food
at
toast
is
amazing
which
makes
this
review
difficult.
Without
the
mandated
tip
and
the
differently
priced
menus,
I
think
we
would’ve
felt
better
about
our
brunch
choice.
